I want to extend the bellows extension on my 8x10 Cambo Legend when doing macro work. I need to find the bellow's frame from the 8x10 end of the bellows or, if need be, if anybody has a set of dead as a parrot 8x10 bellows.... i can use the frame.
Actually I'm waiting for the 4 ft bellows to arrive from China. In the meantime, my brother-in-law, who works in the titanium industry, welded a three foot addition to my mail rail, so I'm thinking of get another 8x10 bellows, a shorter one, but which I can join to my 4 foot one via the joiner I have. We'll see how the bellows fit into the frames.

Sorry for the delay..... too much to do and not enough time....
anyway, I'm looking at having 6 ft (1800mm) of total bellows. Once I set up, I'll have 8 ft of rail sitting on two Majestic tripods and monopods at the each end. The Majestics have geared heads and rise but I can also lower or raise the small table where I put the object to be photographed. Its all macro, leaves, dead flowers..... giving new life to dead things. And with the Cambo legend rail setup, I can set up my 4x5 Master on it and have fun with all the movements I can get on it... Right now, in 8x10, I mount the two Cambo 8x10 tapered bellows front to front and the back and front standards are 8x10.
I 'll start with the 4ft section and take it from there; I'll have a better idea if my ideas are practical. we'll see.
